Mashed Cauliflower – a silky, smooth and delicious Mashed Cauliflower recipe that is the perfect side dish for any meal!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large head of fresh cauliflower, cut into florets
- 4 tablespoons butter (sub ghee or vegan butter)
- 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk, more as-needed (sub regular milk)
- 2 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Place a steamer basket in a medium/large saucepan. Add enough water to cover the bottom of the pan. Add the cauliflower and cover. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer, approx. 8-10 minutes or until the cauliflower is VERY soft (otherwise the consistency won’t be very smooth). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Add steamed cauliflower to a high-speed blender along with the remaining ingredients. Blend on HIGH for 2-3 minutes or until the consistency is silky smooth.
- Add additional almond milk a tablespoon at a time and then blend again to reach your desired consistency.
- Taste and add additional butter, salt or garlic powder – as desired.
Notes
- Dairy-Free: to make this recipe dairy-free use vegan butter and unsweetened almond milk.
- Other Cooking Techniques: you could also steam the head of cauliflower in an Instant Pot or roast it in the oven, instead of steaming it on the stovetop.
- Storage: store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
